Quote

At Poltersberg, there is a lake similarly cursed. If you throw a stone into it, a dreadful storm immediately arises, and the whole neighboring district quakes to its centre. 'Tis the devils kept prisoner there.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Many pass for saints on earth whose souls are in hell.
Martin Luther
Image
One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
A unjust law, is no law at all.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things that we do not see.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith ever says, If Thou wilt, not If Thou canst.
Martin Luther
Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God's grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.
Martin Luther
Image
I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstacles, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires and to open and make straight paths. If I must have some failing let me rather speak the truth with too great sincerity than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth.
Martin Luther
Image
When I was a child there were many witches, and they bewitched both cattle and men, especially children.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.
Martin Luther
Image
In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible.
Martin Luther
Image
Pray, and let God worry.
Martin Luther
Image
It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think of the ale-house in church.
Martin Luther
Image
This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Martin Luther
Image
There are three conversions necessary (for the Christian life): the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the purse.
Martin Luther
Image
We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply roundly, and plainly for teaching is of more importance than exhorting.
Martin Luther
Image
May the Lord fill you with His blessings and with hatred of the Pope.
Martin Luther
